It’s getting to the time of year where Timbers 2 will have to start picking up points ... and quickly. Coming into Saturday night’s game against Sacramento Republic FC, T2 had picked up just six points over the past six games and WERE slowly falling down the Western Conference standings.
In a hectic game, it was Sacramento that broke through, scoring the opener at the stroke of halftime before holding off wave after wave of T2 pressure. The last time the two teams met, T2 came away with the 1-0 victory. This time, it was the Republic’s turn to flip the script and hand the visitors a 1-0 defeat of their own.
